I just got back from Subway and won’t be able to shake this smell for at least the next five hours. To pass the time while I air out, how about joining me in listening to some of these extra special jams. We’ll start out with Wild Flag covering Fugazi!!

Florence + The Machine “Never Let Me Go” (Clams Remix)
Son of a Nun Remix (Oh Land ft. Nelly)
The Naked and Famous – No Way (CoPilots Remix)
Welcome to the Chicago Venue Menu podcast! As a music-lover, podcast maker and concert-goer, this is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. In the future, I hope to release these every Friday and will be making these available via iTunes in the next few days. Eventually, I’ll be bringing on special guests to join me and share their picks for the upcoming week in Chicago concerts. If you’re a publicist or band that wants to get in touch, feel free to reach out to me at iamchubbyjones (at) gmail (dot) com.

My heart is still recovering from not being at South by Southwest. In all seriousness I think I sounded like an air-horn that replaced the annoying honking sound with the even more annoying Snookie, “Waaaah”.
Instead of crying about it (any more), I distracted myself by finding music to share with you.
Let’s start out with this tasty Holy Ghost remix of Midnight Magic’s track “Drop Me A Line”
Dummy Mag’s Mix from Brenmar is a delight and holy shit – it even has Dru Hill‘s “How Deep Is Your Love” which was my dance floor grinding jam back in college.
Rye Rye will be releasing a proper album soon and a set of remixes for the single “Boom Boom” has made its way to the net. So far, this is my favorite of the batch:
Hey guess what, I still LOVE this song and I don’t care if you hate Lana Del Rey or the overt oral sex references in this video. BJ away my friend!
And yes, I would totally hit it!
It’s kind of hard to believe Gossip hasn’t released anything for quite some time now – probably because I haven’t stopped playing the shit out of Music for Men due to it never getting old. Ever.
Well, brace yourselves my friends, because you are in the same room as greatness. From Beth’s opening, “Oh-oo-ooh-oo-ooh” you will recognize the sadness within “Perfect World”, but just as all songs from this band go, there is a sense of redemption and optimism that will make you want to use one arm to pump your fist while the other stays safely near your mouse so as to click the play button again.
A Joyful Noise comes out in May. (via TripleJ)
